in internet stuff it is too easy to read things into comments. I've seen it many times
I've not seen anything "GLEEFUL"
oh, I've been around long enough to know that copilots/fo's are always in a difficult situation.
I"VE BEEN IN MANY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS.
Thinking the airtran purchase might have been a clue is similar to many other accidents. Don't get too upset, it has happened in many merger situations.
new to civilian flying? sounds like an ex fighter pilot , single seat...and it is hard to deal with new things.
sadly, I have an opinion as to what happened and it is not a pretty one for the captain.
I mentioned the delta crash at LGA in which the captain was using monovision contact lenses which were not the right kind to fly with.
But jpjp, no one deserved jumping on like you have done.
and no one is pointing fingers at airtran...I like em because they flew DC9's in another form as ValueJet.
Every airline has problems...lets just try to figure this one out and learn from it.
But like I've said...LGA is not a bad airport compared to others in the USA.
What do you think happened...if it is not compromising your situation.
